Sounds like a personal distaste if anything to me. And the link you posted is about Squall's gunblade. Not the ones Garlean use which shoot actual bullets as seen in the OP movie of XIV.
"In Final Fantasy VIII all forms of gunblade consist of a sword blade with a gun action built into the hilt, the barrel running inside the length of the blade. They are mostly used like normal swords, but triggering a round sends a shock wave through the blade as the weapon passes through an opponent to boost damage." - From this link on the FF Wiki concerning Gunblades.
Theoretically possible IC, but you're basically making an extremely awkward weapon with a limited number of "shock waves" unless you've got the unlimited ammo cheat on.
Admittedly, there are a number of guns with blades on them which would function as ranged weapons, but if you want to primarily fight at ranged, then you could just have a gun with a bayonet on it.
If you really, truly, and absolutely want a gunblade, then it's possible in lore. I just don't know why you'd want to edgelord like that.
It was simply a legit question because in the game Garleans seem to use them with deadly proficiency. And since MCH is coming since I know not everyone is gonna want to be a MCH this thread was simply asking if it was possible to have an alternative so you don't get floor wiped with guns. As such a point was brought up before on the forum.
Besides. People already rp using Lightning gunblades as it is. A gunblade. What's so far fetched of me asking if its possible now because we got a actual class with it?
At any rate. Just wanted to clear that up.
